T
ri Delta at the University of Oklahoma is
proud to announce the groundbreaking
for the new addition to our chapter house is
complete! On Sunday, October 20, members
of the chapter and House Corporation gathered
along with family, friends, alumnae, and other
supporters to celebrate this exciting project at
1611 College Avenue. is is the next phase of
our $4 million renovation and expansion.
HOUSE UPDATES
e new addition will be completed without the
need for members to move out, which will allow
every class the opportunity to experience living in
our beautiful home. e addition includes a large
multi-purpose space connecting to the downstairs
dining room that will serve as an additional study
room and practice space for university events like
Scandals and U-Sing and help host large groups.
e space will be built using ICC 500 standards
to double as a storm shelter to keep our members
and guests safe. In addition to this large space, we
will be adding new guest bathrooms downstairs
and expanding the serving area and kitchen for
better workflow.
e second floor of our addition will include new
executive bedrooms, including one with a private
bathroom. It will also contain an upstairs laundry
room, an additional group bathroom, and several
new study and lounge spaces.
As a precursor to the expansion, several large and
necessary projects have already been completed,
including an upgraded fire suppression system,
installation of an upgraded water pipe leading to
the chapter house, new electrical and fire panels,
and the movement of all existing HVAC units to
make way for our new addition. We also move
several large pieces of kitchen equipment to a
temporary location. Additionally, we were able to
upgrade the study hall and get all-new furniture
for that important space.
